I Have lost all my data including my money, cars, driver level, everything. Was on it this morning worked fine turned my system off turn it back on when I went to load Forza it said syncing data, took 20 minutes and then failed then said to play off-line order try again. So I tried again, and it loaded almost instantly and put me into a new career which started up first race. I almost immediately pressed the middle button to dashboard and pressed start over the game to quit the game. Now I cannot load my old profile and I have no clue where it is or what happened to it. If I can’t get all my stuff back I am completely done with Forza and Xbox entirely this is the only reason why I bought the Xbox one and now everything i put into this game is gone. I have already reset to default and downloaded everything again which took almost a full day and still the same thing starts me in a new career… if someone can help me fix this that would be amazing seeing as Forza doesn’t actually have support for their customers
see this thread: http://forums.forza.net/turn10_postst14621_PLEASE-HELP.aspx
So no one will help with this issue…?? Just go to these 10 forums and write more stuff so you can be told to be patient… This is ridiculous
There may not be an answer yet - in which case you will need to wait for one to be found. Posting it all in one thread means that the devs will be more likely to see your post which could add information to the puzzle they may be trying to resolve.
Hopefully the data for all these accounts is somehow getting hidden by mistake, which could be why it can’t load. I’ve had a Windows XP update accidentally hide my system partition and so it wouldn’t boot up at all. Took me 5 years of on and off fiddling before I decided to try using an alternative operating system (Knoppix Linux) that allowed me to unhide the partition and was able to use my computer again. It was a custom computer, but i’ve since swapped everything out of that old gray box into a state-of-the-art desktop PC that doesn’t even work, won’t even Install Windows 8 on a 1TB drive and brand-new mobo and brand-new CPU and everything. Just citing this as an example.
I doubt Microsoft or T10 would wait 5 years to fix our save data issues, lol.
I hope I don’t have this problem myself. I can’t imagine how upset everyone must be.
This has happened to me once, on the original Forza Motorsport on the original Xbox (corrupted save). I was mad when it happened. Thankfully, I haven’t had that happen to me any more on my other Forza games.
I just got my Xbox one so I don’t know all that much about this yet. But I never set up cloud saves on the xbox one. I understand it is some issue with the cloud save causing this issue correct? Is there a way to turn this feature off to avoid losing game saves?
nope. its automatic. well i guess you could keep the xbox offline totally so everything stays local after the initial update to let it play offline, but then you are probably losing out on more than a game save.

Forza Motorsport 5 lost data
Thanks. Gonna have to roll the dice I guess.
I too suffered this nightmare a month ago. The only ray of sunshine was that it hadn’t deleted my car designs. I was relieved as my Aventador took me a week to do. You’ll also still find the tunes that you’ve used before. I’ve written to a couple of T10 moderators on this issue. Sadly, it seems they’re still scratching their heads on how to resolve this problem.
